Lovey Dovey

I decided to do a Valentine's Day countdown for Matt. I started on Feb. 1st. and went up to Valentine's day. I made little envelop "pockets" and painted clothespins and hung them on some twine. It looked super cute hanging above my sliding door...until it kept falling down. I didn't have a great way of hanging it up. So I put it around the tree in my entryway and it looks "ok".

I didn't take pictures of most of the stuff that we did but it was stuff like:

• tell or write 5 reasons you love your spouse
• candle light dinner at home ( I got a picture of this one!)

• watch the next Dave Ramsey video (I knew Matt would love this one! plus the next video was about relationships and money.,..kind of valentinesy right?)
• make valentine sugar cookies (we invited Matt's brother and his family..so fun!)
• date night with friends
• write love letters to each other
• "heart attack" (I just had a picture of a heart in the pocket...he didn't know what it meant, but I got pictures...I heart attacked our whole house)

• "heart-healthy" activity (running, bike riding)
• make valentine cards
• "chick flick" movie night
• Happy Birthday Matt! (his birthday is in February, we went to dinner with my parents and went to the Off Boradway Theater's improv show)
• valentine's "date night" dinner

Some of the things didn't get accomplished...no biggie...Matt had a lot of homework those two weeks, so I knew we might not get everyting done. Maybe I'll try again next year :)

P.S. I try not to make huge expectations on Valentine's day....we don't really get presents for each other...but we still like to make it a little bit special. So I definitley wasn't expecting this to show up on my door step!

But really, who wouldn't love that? I sure did! Thanks Matt!

Those are chocolate covered strawberries YUM!
